HVAC Capacity & Climate Load · Are the rooms able to hit their targets?Capacidad HVAC y carga climática

Signals below evaluate whether the climate plant has the headroom to hit the targets the recipe asks for — not just whether the current reading is on-band. A room can be "in band right now" and still be a capacity risk if it never gets the DIF, if it swings 8°F across the day, or if VPD-stress hours pile up. Lights-on (Temp on / VPD on / RH on / CO₂) is the 12-hour day window; lights-off (Temp off / VPD off) is the corresponding night.

What the HVAC signals mean — and what to size forQué significan las señales HVAC y qué dimensionar

NEGATIVE or near-zero DIF in 7 rooms is the loudest signal. Lights-off should be the easy phase for HVAC because the sensible load drops 60–80%; if the room actually warms up after the lights cut, the plant is dumping latent heat (transpiration → condensation in the slab and on the canopy) faster than the dehumidifier can pull it. Either the dehumidifier is undersized, the condenser coil is at max delta-T already, or the cooling is set to "off" at night and only the dehum reheat is running. Fix: capacity audit of the dehum + condenser pair on the 7 flagged rooms, confirm cooling stays modulated at night, and verify the Argus / BMS setpoints match what AROYA reads at room level (drift between the two stacks is a recurring root cause).

Diurnal swing > 8°F in 16 room(s) — the most extreme being NY F15 at 30.0°F — says the room can't hold its setpoint when the lights come on. Either the recipe is asking for too steep a transition (lights-on shock load) or the cooling has to ramp from idle to max and the response lag is 30–90 minutes. Fix: stagger lights-on across the F-ring (rolling 5-minute offsets across the 24 flower rooms), pre-cool the room 30 min before lights-on, and re-rate the per-room HVAC sensible capacity against the actual lighting wattage (LED watts × density × duty cycle).

Substrate-vs-air delta: in the bulking + early-stretch cohort, the substrate runs within 1–4°F of air for most rooms. With slabs at 76–78°F under 80°F day air, the root-zone steering window collapses — there's no thermal pull to dry the slab. Fix: drop the air-on band 2–4°F before adjusting any irrigation lever; the irrigation strategy can't compensate for an HVAC problem. The 78°F root-zone line is where ion uptake slows ~30%; several rooms here sit within 1°F of it.

Capacity sizing rule of thumb (carry into the next HVAC conversation): per 1000 W of LED, plan for ~2,400 BTU/hr sensible + ~1,200 BTU/hr latent at design VPD. Add 15–25% headroom for transition / lights-on peaks. The pattern across the cohort — post-flip rooms tracking high day air, mid-bulking rooms with shallow DIF and EC stacking, only deep-ripening rooms approaching their VPD band — says the load curve is real and the plant is sized for an average day, not the peak.

Climate ↔ Irrigation Interplay · Where the Strategy BreaksInteracción Clima ↔ Riego

The biophysics of the interplay — five mechanisms at workMecanismos biofísicos

Per-room interplay verdicts · climate signals + irrigation impactVeredictos por sala

Bad = the climate is actively breaking the strategy this window. Warn = climate is pulling against the strategy at the margin. Good = climate supports the recipe; observed irrigation behavior is genuinely a recipe / scheduling question, not a climate one. Read this table before adjusting any irrigation parameter.

The thread to pull · sequence of operationsSecuencia

1. Fix the climate first. Dehum + condenser audit for the 7 rooms with shallow / negative DIF. Pre-cool routine for the 16 rooms with > 8°F swing. Setpoint reconciliation Argus / BMS ↔ AROYA on every room — the BMS vs AROYA drift pattern is the most common root cause of "the recipe doesn't work" complaints.
2. Watch what irrigation does on its own for one harvest cycle in the worst rooms. Don't change the recipe yet. The dryback, EC stack, and shot-demand patterns should normalize if the climate-capacity diagnosis is right.
3. Then tune the recipe. Only after climate stabilizes is it fair to call a 35–40 pp overnight dryback "too aggressive P3" or substrate EC stacking in bulking "too hot feed". Right now those readings are 30–70% climate, not 100% irrigation.
4. For the good-verdict rooms — the recipe IS the lever. Adjust freely; the climate isn't masking anything.

For each room and current phase: overnight dryback (absolute pp), ET rate (%VWC/hr lights-off), FC daily mean, floor daily mean, substrate pore_EC, EC stack Δ (daily peak − trough), lights-on / lights-off VPD, DIF, soil-temp, CO₂, plus phase-target chips. Each block declares steering intent (generatively-steered vs vegetatively-steered) before the numbers.

Irrigation Shot-Cycle — P0 / P1 / P2 / P3Ciclo de Riego — P0 / P1 / P2 / P3

The 4-phase day is the grower's controller programming: P0 activation (lights-on → first shot, target 1–3% additional dryback after sunrise), P1 ramp-up (small shots back to FC + first runoff), P2 maintenance (pulses holding VWC at FC, EC managed via runoff), P3 dry-down (last shot → next morning, primary steering lever). For each room: phase counts, shot sizes, runoff timing, P0 delay vs phase target. Per-shot irrigation event data is not yet wired in (see §10 Data Quality) — the table below reads the substrate response to infer cadence.El día de 4 fases es la programación del controlador: P0 activación, P1 rampa, P2 mantenimiento, P3 dry-down.
